This general is about the political and social implications of the transhumanism.

Eight things that every person should understand about transhumanism:

1) Every single political and social structure is imperfect due to limitations of a human biology, thus suffering and conflict will always be present.

2) A human organism has been evolving in such a way that natural selection favored complex brain stractures. A human brain makes it so that we are naturally predetermined to create and utilise technology.

3) A human body is nothing more then a tool of your mind. You are using and maintaining it as you see fit. Transhumanism is just the next step of this process. (Unless you hold a strictly materialistic pov).

4) To improve yourself, your loved ones and your surroundings is a natural instinct. Transhumanism is just the next step.

5) You are always limited by your biological needs and abilities. You're perpetually stuck in confines of your own limited body.

6) Death is a consiquence of damage suffered by organism, either instant (trauma) or accumulated through processes of "natural" bodily metabolism (death from old age). It can be prevented\averted\posponed by implementing a sufficiently advanced technology.

7) Technology is outside any one group's control. If China can reverse engineer F-35s, then any other dedicated group can do the same.

8) Competition and mass production always make technology cheap and available.

Also remember to combat technophobia on /pol/ please, ignorance must be stopped.
